There seems to be a feedback loop between the PMO and police - Trudeau says that cops are loving the Act and that it was 'essential' and is using that to justify keeping it on the books /4

When asked whether the govt has received a legal opinion from the Attorney General/to release that opinion, the Minister of Justice/AG (this is a problem - these two positions shouldn't be linked) says the Act is consistent with the Charter /11
